I am a father of 3 boys based in Gloucestershire, UK. My interest is in zoos and wildlife parks and in particular, enclosure design. I want to contribute to Wikipedia by ensuring that articles about zoos are not just written by the zoo, as appears the case predominantly at the moment, but from a neutral viewpoint to inform accurately. There seems to be a real need in this area to develop standard article formats for these attractions to provide well written, informative articles for interested readers. I also try to add further content to neglected articles about notable tourist attractions that feature animals to add to the overall knowledge base of Wikipedia. If there is an article you would like me to help with, then please leave a message on my talk page.

I am particularly keen to collaborate with other contributors who are interested in the same area to gain different perspectives and improve these articles for everyone.

Main pages that I have extensively contributed to: Bristol Zoo, Marwell Zoo, Noah's Ark Zoo Farm, Hamerton Zoo and Wild Place Project.

Work in progress includes: Colchester Zoo, Manor House Wildlife Park, Cotswold Wildlife Park, Dudley Zoo and Birdland Park and Gardens.
